Is it really? Why NJ is much better than Pennsylvania

It’s the modern-day battle across the Delaware River. Are you team Jersey, or team Pennsylvania?

Of course, today’s battles are all in good fun. In reality, it doesn’t really matter which state you live in.

Both have their pros, and both have their cons. And, depending on which one you live in, you might have differing opinions on which state you believe is actually better.

Now, with that said, Let’s talk about New Jersey for a moment. Are we really that much better than Pennsylvania? Some would say, yes, we are (don’t worry, PA, you’ll get your rebuttal afterward).

Before we get into it, we should say this. Our part of the country, Pennsylvania included, has such an incredible quality of life when compared to other parts of the country.

For example, you certainly won’t find it as good in, say, Alabama, then you would in our neck of the woods (sorry to all of those who like Alabama). Our region is simply the best in many ways.

OK, now with that out of the way, let’s get into it. Why is New Jersey so much better than Pennsylvania? Let’s have a friendly debate.

Pennsylvania man charged after son brought loaded gun to school, DA says

A Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, man was charged after his son went to school with his loaded gun, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said Monday.

The DA’s office said Russell Matthews, 58, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering the welfare of a child.

East Pikeland Township Police responded to Hares Hill Elementary School on Monday at around 12:15 p.m. for the report of a student who brought a handgun to school.

At school, the student noticed the handgun inside their backpack and told a school counselor, according to the DA’s office. The student told officials that he recognized it and that it belonged to his father. The semiautomatic handgun was loaded with five rounds of ammunition, the DA’s office said.

Matthews told police that he put the gun in the wrong backpack, the DA’s office said.

Nobody was injured during the incident.

“We are grateful to the school officials and the East Pikeland Township Police Department who worked quickly to ensure that [Hares] Hill Elementary School is safe again,” Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said in a statement.
